Objectives and Testing Tools

HEVC Codec Testing Objectives

The main goal of this report is the presentation of a comparative
evaluation of the quality of new HEVC codecs and codecs of other
standards using objective measures of assessment. The comparison was
done using settings provided by the developers of each codec.
Nevertheless, we required all presets to satisfy minimum speed
requirement on the particular use case. The main task of the comparison
is to analyze different encoders for the task of transcoding video — e.g.,
compressing video for personal use.

HEVC Codec Testing Rools

The comparison was performed on two platforms:

Desktop—Core i7 4770R @3.9 GHz, RAM 4 GB, Windows 8.1

Server—Xeon E5 2697v3, RAM 64 GB, Windows Server 2012

For both platforms we considered three key use cases with different
speed requirements.

Desktop

Ripping—no minimum speed

Universal—minimum 10 FPS

Fast transcoding—minimum 30 FPS

Server

Ripping—no minimum speed

Universal—minimum 30 FPS

Fast transcoding—minimum 60 FPS

Overall Conclusions

Overall, the leaders in this comparison are x265, Intel MSS Hevc and
x264! Here are some overall graphs from report:

Independent Codec Estimation Comparing to Other Codecs for Different Use-cases

Comparative analysis of your encoder and other encoders.

We have direct contact with many codec developers.

You will know place of your encoder between other newest well-known
encoders (compare encoding quality, speed, bitrate handling, etc.).

Encoder Features Implementation Optimality Analysis

We perform encoder features effectiveness (speed/quality trade-off)
analysis that could lead up to 30% increase in the speed/quality
characteristics of your codec. We can help you to tune your codec and
find best encoding parameters.
